“It’s really been a great return for everybody to see how they feel healthier throughout the season eating this fresh food that they grew so it makes you feel proud and it makes you feel good,” said Bailey.

While all those great foods are shared among this group of local gardeners, Bailey says a sense of community is growing too.

“One of the really fun things about the garden is that I’m meeting people I never would have met before and folks that live all around the garden and in the neighborhood that I otherwise wouldn’t have met,” said Bailey.
